Chirurgia Narzadów Ruchu i Ortopedia Polska 2007 March
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was assessment of cervical lordosis in patients after spondylodesis using a cage. The main question was whether using the cage after discectomy improves cervical lordosis.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: The clinical material consists of 117 patients treated in Department of Neuroorthopedics at STOCER Rehabilitation Center in 2001-2004. All patients underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with Solis cage. In the studied patients' group we applied 177 implants. On the basis of x-ray pictures cervical lordosis was evaluated.
RESULTS: Cervical lordosis (C2-C7) significantly increased (+4.6 degrees) after operation.
CONCLUSIONS: Usage of cage for spondylodesis after discectomy, significantly increases cervical lordosis.
